Prices for new crop vegetables in occupied Crimea - "Putin pamagi!"

"Here are the first young potatoes at a 'social' price. It's quite 'budget'," the Crimean public jokingly wrote in the Crimean public, publishing a photo with prices for young vegetables.

Potatoes in the photo cost 400 rubles per kilogram, which is almost more than 190 UAH

The "seasonal" news is actively commented on. Some agree that the price for young vegetables cannot be low and are happy that some markets offer cheaper prices - 270 rubles (130 UAH) - for 1 kg

Others are worried that old potatoes will not go up in price - today in Crimea they are sold from 100 rubles (48 UAH) for 1 kg.

Some share the "space" price of strawberries - 900 rubles (433 UAH) per 1 kg. There are those who long for the Soviet policy of artificial regulation (in fact, containment) of prices: "Where are our authorities? Tax authorities, prosecutors, Rospotrebnadzor? Don't they go to the market? Don't they come to the store?"

There are those who openly mock those who actually miss the reasonable prices that were on the peninsula before the occupation: "Putin pamagi!"

Prices on the peninsula, as in any resort, have always been slightly higher than in nonresort settlements of Ukraine. However, since the Russian occupation, they have risen significantly - as well as in Russia in general.

"Holos Kryma" wrote that prices for summer vacations in Crimea this year will be about 30% higher.
